I did a quick search, and can't find any discussion past Feb of Godhood. I only just discovered it a couple days ago, and I'm psyched! Renowned Explorers is one of my all time favs, and I didn't realise Abbey Games were even working on a new game. Sad to hear of their tribulations, but from the sounds of it, Godhood has had a lot of revisions, and is now a complete, good game. So far I've only played to just past the first boss, and it has been fun.

The game scratches a few good itches for me. Turn based management strategy, the ability to win "fights" with your words, no tactical control in fights, lots and lots of development / build options, a new system with unfamiliar names for stats, resources, elements, and plenty of information to read and learn.
Also: a chill soundtrack.

Allow me to bless your dreams. Play Godhood.




Then tell me what I'm supposed to do in this game. I'm so confused and overwhelmed! But it's fun at the same time

Anybody remember the movie "We Are The Strange"? The guy who made that just released a game?

Looking forward to seeing what kind of weird poo poo people make with this.

A helpful review that actually makes me want to check out what seems to be a screensaver type of game. Like those weird old "virtual goldfish" games that run in the background.

This game is great. Super chill, breeding me some fish. There is a progress path, breeding different colours, and patterns, but I haven't been chasing that. I've been having fun selecting for size, and building up monster solid colour fish, so I can eventually get crazy patterned big bois. Apparently you can select to breed so your fish only grow to be tiny sized adults too.

Absolutely worth the asking price.

I recommend Koi Farm for a nice soothing game. When you start getting to the pages with weird colors you'll eventually want to go look at the guide.

It turns out to be critical to watch your stream every time it rains; eventually a brown fish will show up and you should grab it immediately.

It's really great. In addition to different colors and patterns, you can also selectively breed for size and body type. Like a fish long and skinny, or maybe you prefer more roundish, like a basketball? Or do you want a fish that is tiny when fully grown?

And, the dev put the source code up on GitHub

Someone did a good thing, yay!

I know how to make the idea worse! Let's have microtransactions for lootboxes which may contain save items.
Sorry to say, but it's been done

I've played Dorfromantik throughout Early Access. It's a good puzzle game, but the real point is watching your little village grow, plotting out waterways and railroads, and looking at the countryside. It's a chill and pretty and satisfying game. Watch the trailer, then buy.

Truth. "What do you mean I'm out of tiles? I'm building a cool map." Kind of like pulling out the big Carcassonne box and just matching tiles together on my own.

Terror_of_Hemasaurus just released. It's a modern Rampage remake with some physics-based destruction thrown in. Looks pretty neat.

This is awesome, thanks!

Seriously it's the best $4 you'll spend on any game that isn't Binding of Isaac.

Yep, and they recently hired a new writer

vvv I think it's going to be the flavour text for weapons, enemies, etc.

Can confirm 1bitdragon is really neat. I've never made anything good or listenable in it, but I've had a lot of fun making a godawful racket.

If anyone is interested in simple piano roll tune making like that, have a look at beepbox.co
